Review: Worth every penny - Absolutely love the soldering iron. I’ve purchased a couple corded irons in the past and always had trouble with them getting hot enough especially after a couple months. This thing absolutely blows the doors off any I’ve had in the past. It heats up in half a minute and works flawlessly.
Review: Love it - Best iron that I own. Fast start up. Cools down pretty fast too. I’m not great at soldering but this makes me a professional. Only issue I have is that it’s hard to shut off. It’s the tab that won’t release so I just pull the battery

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone found aftermarket tips for this yet? The milwaukee ones are expensive**
A: Search for Hakko T18 tip on Amazon.

**Q: Does the bare tool come with tips?**
A: Yes it comes with a pointed and a flat tip

**Q: How quick does it run through the smaller M12 batteries. The ones that are the circumference of the tool not the big square ones**
A: With the small batteries it will go about 20 minutes continuously. It heats up super fast so it's no prob to just shut it off between wires. I just patched up a mouse chewed outboard motor wiring harness on one battery and it was in rough shape. This tool is pretty incredible.

**Q: Can you use it for wood burning?**
A: I don’t see why not.
